There’s no actual pole at the North Pole. It’s cold there, with lots of ice and snow. If the ice melts, a pole stuck in the ice might sink into the water. What if you wanted to put a real pole at the North Pole? Think like an inventor! How do you make sure the pole doesn’t sink? How do you make sure it stays in the same place and doesn’t move? Draw or describe your invention.

Most paper is made of mashed wood. Wood has tough fibers that make strong paper. What else could you mash to make paper? Could you mash tomatoes and make tomato paper? What about banana peels? Draw or describe two things that you could try to make into paper. Then draw or describe what makes your new paper better than wood paper. What makes it worse than paper made from wood?
